Is apache configured to start in the default runlevel?
(Rest is for completeness and newbies reading the list)
Check /etc/inittab for the line with "initdefault" in it to identify
your default runlevel - it is usually 2.
Assuming your default runlevel is 2, there ought to be a symlink to
/etc/init.d/apache2 (or whatever) in /etc/rc2.d/
See the man page for update-rc.d on how to add apache to the default
runlevel. You need to be root to run update-rc.d
Sigh. I suddenly realise that for past several years, debian has not
been giving me any reason to become root - except to update.
HTH.
